Chickpea Salad. 🌱 Gives a similar taste as Tuna or Chicken Salad, except no animals or animal products. It’s very simple to make and a great snack. It’s also Soy & Mock meat free. (Swipe for images to follow steps.) . - Open can of garbanzo beans: Any brand of your choice works, I always try to chose the brand with the least ingredients (e.g water, salt, garbanzo beans). Drain the liquid off the beans. . . - Place the beans on a plate of bowl, take the back of a fork & mash the beans down until they’re all broken up. . . - Chop up & add in your Onion & Celery. You can use any onion of your choice, I used Red. . . - Next add in the vegan mayo, mustard and spices. I had to blend the two brands because I was running low on the Follow Your Heart brand. . . - Stir up all your ingredients and taste & add more or less of the spices. . . - You can either eat it right away or put it in the fridge so the flavors can marry & enjoy/serve it later. You can eat this salad with crackers, bread, or by itself. . . ((** I don’t have exact measurements for everything I used. Precise Recipe coming soon.)) #chickpeas#garbanzobeans#chickpeasalad#celery#redonion#vegan#soyfree

Fill up ya jars! If you're new to shopping at bulk food stores, we have a step by step guide on how to do your weekly grocery shop plastic free on our blog.
.
But basically, you weigh your jars (either there or at home), write the weight on them, and then fill them and your produce bags with produce.
.
Then it's off to the checkout as usual!
.
If you're confused at all, just ask. They're generally very supportive environments with very friendly staff who are wanting to help people reduce their impact.
.
And you can use your produce bags at all the places you can find food in bulk, not just dedicated bulk food stores as you don't need to take off the extra weight like with a jar. You can use produce bags for the bulk bins in supermarkets, for example.
.
You can do a small shop to start off with to figure out the system and then do a bigger one the next time.
.
My first one was very small - I just got a jar of chocolate nuts. 😂 Now we get everything in bulk!
.
How was your first bulk food shop experience?

Pasta for dinner.
Hi guys! Last nights dinner was brought to you by @eatbanza pasta.
This Pasta is actually really tasty. For great results follow the instructions. All you need is 8 minutes of boiling in order for it to be #aldente
Last night I went to my sisters house but the cooking and eating must go on! Not having my ingredients and using what I have at hand is one of my favorite things to do. You never know what you will come up with! I #trust me tho. 🍝 sauce.
The sauce was made by #onions#burdockroot#chard#sundriedtomatoes#spices#mushrooms
I don’t like wasting food so I used chard for the sauce, it gave it a delicious taste and I salvaged it from the garbage. (Get in my belly)
To avoid wasting your veggies the ones that have reached that withering point, pop them in your blender and make #soup or #sauce.
This meal was very easy, very fast and very delicious.
Oh the great news!
Last night @msjackie423 Let us know that target has the pasta sometimes for $2-$3! Guess I’ll be on the lookout for that and let you guys know.
Significance of the pasta is that it’s made of #chickpeas ! What?! Lol

Chickpea Pancake from @healthy_ish ((recipe link in bio))
10/10 cheap (requires just chickpea flour, which is cheeeeap or you can grind your own dried
chickpeas, water and oil)
8/10 tasty (doughy, crispy, warm... you just can’t compare it to a normal pancake ok?!) .
10/10 wholesome (those beans are like basically a protein shake #iamnotanutritionalist)
—-
Delicious with any kind of topping, say for instance: hummus, curry, roasted veggies, or maple syrup

I used to love @hummusbarbudapest 🥙🥗💞but I have to be honest, lately I get very bad experiences there. 🙁 No matter which store we go to, it’s always messy, and the staff is somehow quite unnice. Yesterday the place was open until 6pm, but they couldn’t provide half the menu at 3 pm. I went with a hummus plate with chicken wich was bitterish, and asked for an extra boiled egg, which looked like it was 4 days old, had a brownish coating on it. I’m really sad you guys, because it used to be an affordable place to eat great hummus, but now...I can’t even find words. I really hope they will come back to the level they used to be on, because I miss my good old hummus a lot! I’m volting for you @hummusbarbudapest 🤞🏻 #mik#mik_gasztro#mutimiteszel#instafood#instagood#hummus#hummusbar#chickpeas#restaurant#budapest#food#budapestfood#budapestfoodstories

Today’s lunch bowl of goodness...one of this weekends prep meals. This weather warrants nothing less than dishes like this to keep us perked up. I sweated some onions then added some spices, chilli, cumin, garlic and fresh ginger. Added some chunked sweet potato and let it sweat for a min. Added 1tbsp of garam masala, 1tsp of turmeric paste (you can used dried) and then mixed in some passata and water and let it simmer for 5 mins. Added the chickpeas and greens for another 5 mins then finished it off with a bit of coconut cream. Salt & pepper to season. Yum! 3-4 portions. #chickpeas#sweetpotato#greens#curry#masala#winterwarmers#vegan

I’m trying another new recipe tonight, West African Peanut Soup 😋 We have been trying a lot of new recipes since going meat free at the beginning of the year... this recipe a much different flavor profile than what I’m used to cooking, but it looks delicious! I’m planning to serve it with brown rice or homemade croutons 🥣👍🏼
